Therapy is not about fixing you as if you're broken. To me, it's about recovering from suffering, and connecting deeply and authentically to your thoughts, feelings, desires and dreams. It can be difficult to begin a new therapy relationship and be vulnerable, especially when relationships have been harmful in the past. I think taking the risk anyway reflects an inherent pull toward repairing the old wounds that restrict our capacity to live freely and joyfully. I love working with LGBTQIA folks, relationships, trauma, and difficulties with shame, self-love and acceptance.
I provide psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and relational psychotherapy. We'll collaboratively explore and process the impact of the past on the present, as well as tackle current difficulties. Creative arts therapy and drama therapy approaches can also be integrated into the therapy process, based on client interest and need.
My style is warm, nonjudgmental, playful and curious. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is central to the process. I aim to create an open space in which you can feel heard, cared for, and free to be your full self in all its messy, imperfect human complexity.
